I think THR only had Planes's number when they posted the article and even then they did not release any Friday numbers.

BO's numbers look better and more detailed.

Great for Millers. Solid for everything really. Could have been better for Percy Jackson though but it does have family competition from Planes. Should have decent legs.

Seems expected for Elysium. Terrific for Planes and We're the Millers, which could both gross $100M+ if they hold well. Pretty strong mid August weekend overall.

I am intrigued to see Elysium's CinemaScore. Very good movie, but not the most conventional or "pleasant" summer action movie ever. Fairly brutal and anxious.

Great weekend. Over 100m injected by the new films which is great for August. Shame Rlsiu
Couldn't get to 40m.

Looking like a good weekend after a couple clunkers. This should be enough to keep the next few weeks afloat (which look insanely dire).

Disappointing that Elysium with Matt Damon and Jodie Foster can't outopen "indie" District 9.

I saw it coming. It's plain and simple did not look like anything original. The gritty Alien slums film looked much more interesting then the "many poor try to overcome the few that have everything" storyline that has been done to death. Also the "Activate Daniel Day Lewis Knockoff" wasn't exactly a great selling point. Nothing he did was really that cool looking.

Elysium if turns true would still be a good number. It won't out open District 9 but the time difference could be the reason of people not seeing this as the Director's follow up to that movie.

Elysium opens to a very "Expendables number", and I suspect it will fail to reach $100m too. I hope it's a good movie, though.

Wow, 2 Guns dropped like a rock.

I'm amazed at how well The Conjuring is doing. Bravo Wan, bravo!

What does Daniel Day-Lewis have to do with the price of eggs in China? WTF?

Umm, The Wolverine is looking at a 65% drop? WTF? It had barely compettiion with Elysium and Millers being rated R.

Turbo is looking at a 60-65% drop after dropping 55% the weekend before.

Fox is glum right now.

I just think he looks like BIll the Butcher

And haha at that statement. I had a history teacher that used that saying at least once a week.

It might struggle to $80 million, which would make it the lowest-grossing DreamWorks Animation film since Flushed Away. Ouch.

Fruitvale had another crappy drop. It'll probably finish with $17-18 million. Pity. I wish we had a Blue Jasmine estimate...

Man, it seems that most limited films this summer have just been terrible. Sure Mud did ok, but it never really even attempted wide expansions. Is Blue Jasmine all there is left, I'm pretty sure World's End will get a wide release.

And Disney is going to get $100M for a DTV. Planes outgrossing Turbo and Smurfs 2 is one of the bigger surprises of the summer.

Well BOM lists World's End as wide so...

Elysium did in the middle of ok and good. I thought it would do more, but before seeing it last night I had no idea it was rated R.

Millers is doing great. R-rated comedies are really on a roll.

The holdovers were just fucked, no lube. Horrible, horrible Friday-to-Friday drops, especially for The Wolverine, 2 Guns and Turbo.

That's a lock anyway. It'd have to pass $100 million in order not to become DreamWorks' lowest-grossing since Flushed Away

So where is 2 Guns headed (domestic)? 65 to 70 million?

$70-72 million

Yeah, I want to know about that and The Spectacular Now.
